Being an American, I’m used to a certain level of public patriotism, especially during the summertime. I’m used to seeing American flags waving in the wind, posters and banners placed all around town, and red, white, and blue EVERYWHERE.

Happy Easter 🐰🐣🐇🐤 Someone once described my clothing style as an “Easter egg throwing up.” While I am not sure they meant it as a compliment, I decided to take it as one.
